lirik lagu loudon wainwright iii – the shit song (live)
when i run into friends of mine i haven’t seen in years
they give me the once over then their eyes well up with tears
then they pr-nounce me “looking great”, i haven’t changed a bit
i flash ’em back a feeble smile; i know i look like sh-t
‘cos i saw myself this morning, phew, and i know of what i speak
i’m a human being, but i look like i reek
and a weaker bathroom lightbulb just might take care of it
‘cos the mirror shatters your illusions when you look like sh-t
sh-t comes in different colors, and consistencies
i guess that i’m just aging like the finest wines and cheeses
the guy that’s me, who’s in my dreams, is twenty-five or six
i’m old enough to be his dad, how’s that for parlor tricks?
life’s a job you’re fired from, unless of course you quit
gee, i wonder if that old blind guy knows that he looks like sh-t?
“let’s ask him!”
“‘scuse me? no, over here!”
although i know it’s natural, i still can’t understand
once i looked like a million bucks, now, it’s more like two grand
we start out with a lot of time, but what happens to it?
times flies when you f-ck around and then you look like sh-t!
oh, ain’t it the truth, brothers and sisters?
sh-t comes in different colors, and consistencies
“sh-t’s a gift we make”, freud said, “here, take mine won’t you please?”
growing old ain’t easy, it’s a process so they say
we proceed to our grand finales, every single day
but dying doesn’t worry me, i’m not bothered a bit
i just don’t like the thought of lying there looking like sh-t!
